oh Holdens. This is when we did the cartoon cavalcade. That was a debacle, glorious debacle.

Are you familiar with the total Vom . com, and our dear Ractalfece? If not, but you read all this junk, John and Luke Holden may very well rock you. John’s the mike man, Luke, the drawer. Together, power sibs activate!

So, this Totes Vom Episode deals with a stumptown fest of yore. 2 years past, nothing lasts. (thats a TMCM opera lyric to get you pumped for the sequel) Anyhow, if you are interested in the Holdens and I, you may squeal at this brief crossover. I’m in the Elevator looking harrid and stressed, and not getting what kind of footage John is looking for. (We were in a hurry)

Oh dear, my favorite Internette is hanging up his hat. Well, at least not putting it on everyday? No, he always wears that stupid hat. Joesph William Bergin the 3rd is retiring from The Daily Grind. The grind he has spent 3 years in, making a comic every weekday. Dang is right.

He did so good! I know he’ll have more time to do more awesome comics now, read a book, take a hike, and play with his wiener… dog. But he will be missed! Honestly, when I met this man I was in awe from getting to meet such an honest to gosh artist, and I am very thankful for having gotten to learn so much from him. He is a cartoonist through and through.

He made me laff, he me made me cry? well, not in his dailys but you get the idea.

Joe, You were good. Now be even better, you freakin Ink Stud. Ker Sigh!

So, I am an alumni of the illustrious Renegade Animation Studios, which has (had?) an office here in Portland. While I was doing top secret video game animation, most of our office was working on the recently debuted MR Men Show. I got to see the weekly shots come out, parceled gently out over the real time it takes to animate. I say that the show is absolutely adorable. Now, I know you may think that they bribed me with their bagels, cream cheese, and coffees, but, no I am not so easily bought. Bagels only rent me. I was excited to see how strong and ridiculous each character is, and how the whole show is premised on every mr man and little miss just plain being ill suited for their job. None of them will ever get along, for a Mr Anal Retention can never be comfortable around a Mr Crusty Hippy. That doesn’t stop them from going on road trips to the beach, however.

The charecters tend to either have a regional accent, or be based off an old Hollwood type. I especially fell for Mr. Scatterbrain, who’s based off Ed Wynn, the old man floating around his tea party in Mary Poppins. He brings the party.

Now, there’s some controversy surrounding the Mister Rude character. Who is unabashedly FRENCH. I am in support of a big, publicity inducing fight! According to a source at the French Embassy in London ” this kind of humor won’t go any distance toward easing a centuries-old rivalry between the two nations”. Well, maybe not. But with me, the proof is always in the pudding. So it matters if it’s funny.

Bare in mind that, I , in fact, have French heritage. That, and a bit o the Irish is how I maintain my honky white visage. So in celebration for Cartoony Racial Stereotypes that I personally represent in my daily duties, I’ve drawn a stunning portrait of Mr Rude, and a New Character I’d like to one day introduce into the men cannon. I’ll let you know when I see a contract.

Here’s Mr Rude, being just a little bit ruder.

And here’s the character I propose, a new man, named Mr Tipsy. He has a heavy brogue.

What the hell was this old arcade game called? This was a question I had on my mind for a long time. So when the Onion’s AV club started encouraging hapless schmucks like me to recall our collectively misspent youth I had a drawing I’d done from memory ready to send in. Here, the AV club nicely answered my inquest, which, yes, is and was extremely important. You’ll have to scroll down the page a little after you link.
